Sugar prices are sharply higher today, with NY sugar posting a 3-week high and London sugar posting a 2-week high.

Meanwhile, Green Pool Commodity Specialists last Wednesday raised their global 2026/27 sugar deficit to -3.3 MMT from a June estimate of -1.76 MMT, and StoneX last Tuesday raised its 2026/27 global sugar deficit forecast to -1.7 MMT from a May estimate of -550,000 MT.
